Why is cerebral infarction so common in China? Reminder: If you don’t want cerebral infarction to come to your door, you need to do these 4 points!
In China, the incidence of stroke is increasing at an annual rate of 8.7% , and nearly 30% of all stroke patients die. Even for 79% of the survivors who were successfully rescued , most of them had sequelae of varying degrees, such as language barriers, movement disorders, hemiplegia , and so on.
It has to be said that stroke has replaced tumors and infections and has become the disease with the highest mortality rate, which seriously threatens the life expectancy and quality of life of Chinese residents.
The so-called stroke, in fact, is commonly known as stroke, which is an acute cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease. It is mainly divided into two types in clinical practice. The first is ischemic stroke caused by severe occlusion and stenosis of cerebral blood vessels , and the second is hemorrhagic stroke caused by sudden rupture of cerebral blood vessels .
Judging from the current clinical data, the incidence of the former is significantly higher than that of hemorrhagic stroke, accounting for about 60-70% of all patients . This disease is commonly known as cerebral infarction.
So far, there is a lack of effective treatment methods for cerebral infarction in clinic, the quality of life of most patients will decline after the disease, and the recurrence rate of patients in the future is relatively high.
Therefore, from a clinical point of view, preventing cerebral infarction is far more important than treating cerebral infarction. If you do not want cerebral infarction to find yourself in the future, you should do the following:
1. Control the primary disease
Although the onset of cerebral infarction is sudden, it is actually based on cerebral atherosclerosis. According to the current clinical data, diabetes, hypertension and hyperlipidemia will accelerate the development of atherosclerosis .
Among them, high blood pressure is an independent risk factor for stroke, and the more improperly controlled blood pressure, the higher the risk of cerebral infarction. Therefore , after the diagnosis of such diseases, patients should cooperate with doctors for treatment;
2. Reasonable diet
A research report from the American Heart Association pointed out that increasing the proportion of fresh fruits and vegetables in the daily three meals can not only supplement the body with needed vitamins and water, but also reduce the level of glucosine in the blood, which is beneficial to the prevention of brain damage. Terriers help.
In addition, everyone should limit the intake of salt, fat, and sugar in meals in daily life, control the total number of calories in three meals , and maintain a state of fullness at 6-7 points per meal is the best;
3. Improve living habits
The key points to mention here are cigarettes and alcohol . These two are not only carcinogens, but also cause damage to arterial endothelial tissue after entering the body, leading to atherosclerosis, hypertension and other problems.
Therefore, from a clinical point of view, no matter whether there is a primary disease or not, you should actively quit smoking and drinking, and at the same time maintain good sleep habits and avoid staying up late or lack of sleep for a long time;
4. Regular exercise
There are two main benefits of exercise. The first is to consume excess body fat and lose weight . You must know that obesity is originally an independent risk factor for three high diseases and stroke. Good weight control will undoubtedly reduce the risk of disease in the later stage .
Second, exercise can also improve the body's immune function, balance endocrine, and promote blood circulation , which also plays a role in preventing cerebral infarction to a certain extent.
Finally, it should be emphasized that the appearance of cerebral infarction is never overnight. So, don't wait until middle age to realize the danger of cerebral infarction.
From now on, everyone should stay away from unhealthy living and eating habits. If there is a family history of three high diseases or cerebral infarction, everyone should also conduct relevant health screenings regularly to avoid diseases without knowing it.
